UNIFORMS #39885C SS Scarf/Neckerchief

This SS Scarf is quite an elegant article. It has a silken finish on the obverse side and a slightly more matte finish on the reverse. Being an SS item it is, course, entirely black in color.

It is triangular in shape, much in the manner of a normal neckerchief. It measures 44 inches across the longest edge and 33 inches high.

The original RZM tag is stitched on the reverse edge of the scarf. It reads “Halstuch” which I believe does mean “scarf” or “neckerchief” in German. The tag is marked with SS runes and an RZM circle, as well as being rubber stamped “463”. There is also a run number of “710904”.

This is a rare, original item here. If you are doing up an SS Officer’s uniform this piece will add a nice touch to the ensemble!

On each sleeves are medical caduceus emblems, also in gold bullion. The two gold bullion strips on the sleeves indicate a line officer. This man was a doctor with the rank of Oberleutnant zur See. I understand that it is possible the bullion eagle and doctor’s insignia were reapplied after the war. Often this is the case with German uniforms as often the insignia was taken off during surrender. In any even the insignia are all correct and perfectly applied.

The interior of the jacket is in choice condition, lined in black silk. It has a marking which looks to be “RAW / 15 / 9 / 39”. There are no other markings inside the jacket.

A very beautiful jacket here, and something may of us would be proud to display. This tunic would look terrific with a set of a nice Naval dagger and hangers.

UNIFORMS #33995C Japanese Red Cross Tunic

This tunic is of all wool construction, and is an olive green color. I do not see any mothing on this tunic, and it appears to be in perfect condition, showing little wear.

The tunic has five buttons that run down the front. There are two flap-style pockets at the top, with buttons. At the bottom is another set of flap-style pockets, but without buttons.

The collars have tabs affixed to the them; red in color, and with three gold stars. I believe they denote a rank of Jotohei (Senior Soldier) which would be roughly analogous to a Private 1st Class.

There is an original Japanese Red Cross Armband attached to the left sleeve. The armband is of a soft white material, with a sewn Red Cross in the center area. This armband is also in perfect condition.

Looking inside of the tunic we see, on the left side, a series of stampings in Japanese. While I don't pretend to understand Japanese, one could probably surmise these stampings are information pertaining to the wearer, or perhaps the tunic itself. The tunic is lined with a fairly stiff white cotton.

A really nice tunic here, if Japanese artifacts are your bailiwick.

UNIFORMS #34938 Pair of Strohschuhe (Straw Boots)

This pair of Strohschuhe is an extremely rare uniform part. This straw boots were made in concentration camps, typically in Poland, and were produced for soldiers to wear on guard duty in the high mountain areas in the winter time. The boots are extremely large measuring about 19 inches in length and about 10 inches high. The straw is all tightly woven and at the bottom the straw is covered with pitch to resist the winter snow.

This particular pair of boots were brought back by an army veteran from Berchtesgaten and is validated by the fact that the boots are accompanied by the veteran’s letter written on stationary from the Deutscher Hof hotel where he tells his wife that he is sending the boots home. Since they come from Berchtesgaten it would be a fact that the straw boots were worn by SS troops as only the SS acted as guards at Berchtesgaten being the mountain home of Adolf Hitler.

This is a great opportunity for the collector out there that may be building a mannequin dressed in winter garb. These straw boots were also used in Russia and any of the areas where there were mountains and lots of snow. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to offer a pair of these boots.

UNIFORMS #33982 English Leather Flying Mittens

This set of flying mittens has very fine soft leather outside with a fleece lined inside. One of the gloves has a small separation where the thread has given out, but should be a very easy repair. There are leather straps with snaps that are adjustable to tighten the mittens.

The inside of one mitten has a diamond shaped manufacturer’s tag with a wreath inside having the number, “10”. Atop the number is an English-looking crown thus we think that these were issued to English flyers but we are not sure. They are definitely World War II, as they came to us with an large collection of other authentic veteran items.

Excellent Plus $100.00

UNIFORMS #33881C Artillery Hauptmann Service Tunic

This Hauptmann rank Service Tunic is in excellent condition throughout. There are really no holes in the tunic, but there are a couple of pulled areas down near the right pocket. This is a four-pocket type tunic with flaps. The tunic has six buttons on the flap. They are the pebbled aluminum style, and they match the bottoms applied to the pocket flaps as well as the sewn-in shoulder boards. The boards have the silver Officer cord and there are two pips pushed into each one, indicative of the Hauptmann rank. The boards have a red underlay signifying Artillery. There is also red cord decoration to the collar tabs. There is one set of loops on the left pocket.

The breast eagle is an officer-quality example. This eagle looks as though it may have been a replacement. Many times the original eagles were torn off by returning servicemen or by the original owners themselves, and it is not unusual to see a replacement eagle. This bird has good bullion, which is a little bit loose on the head and breast area, but is still good throughout the wings, wreath, swastika and talons. The tunic is lined with gray silk. There is a strap and snap clip sewn in for a dagger. The slit below the pocket flap is also there to accommodate a dagger hanging strap.

There is no tailor label at the reverse collar area, but the tailors label is still intact within the inside breast pocket. The tailor is “August Schanz & Co.”, and the town below is “Burg b. Magdeburg”. Written into the lines below is the original owners rank and name, “LTN Harder” with a date of “27.3.44.” Beneath the name there is written, “HERZAN” with the number “4” below it. Obviously this officer was a Leutnant when the tunic was made for him, and he continued to wear it once he became a Captain. The only difference between a Leutnant rank and Hauptmann is the addition of the two pips to the shoulder board. A fine tunic here, which appears to be about a size 36.

UNIFORMS #32771C Railway Official’s Tunic

This Railway Official’s Tunic is a rather rare item, or at least it is the first one that I have handled. It is quite beautiful, being a dark blue wool and very nicely made. The official that owned this tunic did not wear it very often, as it remains in full mint condition. The tunic is an open collar style with 4 button front and 4 flap pockets. The buttons are all a brass color with pebbled surfaces. The collar tabs are a black silk which have a woven winged Railway wheel at the top and a mobile swastika below. The weave is in a gold color thread.

The sleeve patch worn on the left arm is a rounded shape with straight top. It features an open-winged Railway eagle which looks to the viewer’s left and clutches a mobile swastika within a wreath. It is woven with the same gold thread as the collar tabs. Below the eagle is the identification markings “RBD Saarbrücken”. In other words, this Railway official worked out of the city of Saarbrücken. RBD stands for “Reichbahndienst”. This tunic has a fine black silk lining and the sleeve are lined in a striped officer style silk. A beautiful tunic here which would probably accommodate a Railway Official's Dagger.

Mint. $1,495.00

UNIFORMS #32324C Imperial Large Bullion and Brocade Dress Belt

I believe this massive dress belt was worn with the formal Imperial Army uniform. The belt is a fine silver bullion being about 1¾ inches wide having twin gray stripes which run the length. The reverse of the belt is covered in a white cotton style material.

Attached to the belt are a catch and buckle which appear to be silver plated. At each end of the belt there is a very large bullion style tassel. The cap of the tassel is over three inches wide and the silver bullion tassels are almost ten inches in length. A very impressive item here. The bullion belt shows some age and some wear but there are no frays or problems with it. This must have looked really great when an Imperial officer arrived at a formal reception or a parade dress occasion.

Excellent. $695.00

UNIFORMS #29833 Political Leader's Swallows Nest

These swallow’s nests are quite beautiful and appear to be for a Reich lover band musician. They feature a gold brocade material sewn to a red velvet base. The gold brocade fabric has mobile swastikas embossed every half an inch or so. I counted them, and there are actually 69 swastikas inlaid into this gold fabric! The lower part of the swallow nest has a gold fringe which hangs down.

The reverse of the nest has 5 metal hook-like brackets which are black painted and would be used to hook into loops installed on the shoulder area of the musician’s tunic. The canvas backing is a brown color and there is also an original paper RZM tag in place. This RZM tag is a blue printed color having the rubber-stamped number “21” at the top lines. On the bottom lines is the run number “037691”. A very fine set of swallow’s nests here which would really display beautifully, or they could also be put onto a political leader’s tunic should you be lucky enough to have a musician’s example with these missing.

UNIFORMS #29257 Municipal Police Tunic with Britches

This complete uniform was purchased by me directly from the family whose father brought it home. The tunic is in outstanding condition showing only minimal usage and virtually no problems at all. It is the lighter weight cotton fabric that would have been worn during the summertime. The britches are the standard heavy green wool type. The uniform has eight aluminum pebbled buttons which go down the front. It is a four pocket type with flap style pockets.

The collar and cuffs are a brown color contrasting nicely with the green of the cotton fabric. The collar and cuffs are piped in red and there is also red cord which runs completely along the tunic flap as well as along the collar. This policeman was the rank of Hauptmann as the officer’s boards are the lieutenant type having two pips applied to each. These slip-on boards have dark brown color material in the center and the borders are aluminum bullion with “V” style weave decoration accenting them. The collar tabs are aluminum bullion having red background and they are also bordered with aluminum cord.

The left sleeve of the uniform has a red police patch which is sewn to it. It features the oval wreath of oak leaves with a superimposed open-winged police eagle clutching a wreath with black swastika. This police sleeve patch appears to have been hand sewn to the uniform. The reverse of the uniform also has the four buttons with flap and the slots are piped in red. As mentioned above, the britches are the standard heavy material type and they are the style which are tailored in the riding style and tuck into boots at the bottom. This is an outstanding police outfit here ready to be installed on your mannequin.
